I'd like to use Conkeror as default browser in Mac OS 10.6. Selecting conkeror.app as default browser with Safari does not work. While it is possible to start Conkeror via Firefox command line arguments (-app), opening additional URLs with that instance is not.

If anyone has been able to setup Conkeror on Mac OS 10.6 in a way that...

uses Conkeror as default browser for all applications

reuses a running Conkeror instance when opening an URL (either current or new buffer)

..., could you post the steps necessary to do so?

P.S.: Feel free to retag with 'conkeror'

EDIT: In addition to the Info.plist solution posted below, you also need the line

Just download that, unzip it, and replace the following Info.plist file with the one included in the download:

/Applications/conkeror.mozdev.org/conkeror/Contents/Info.plist

Note: after completing this, make sure you touch the application bundle, which will force Launch Services to re-examine and re-register the app and its newly found capability for the http:// and https:// URL types. In other words, the following should be sufficient:

Update per the comment: From their website: "Unfortunately, at this time, there doesn't seem to be a way on OSX to configure conkeror as your default browser. " I just happened to stumble across that. I had never heard of Conkerer until now.
